Lepidoptera Exotica, or, Descriptions and Illustrations is a book written by Arthur Gardiner Butler and published in four volumes between 1869 and 1874. The book contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of exotic moths and butterflies from various regions around the world.

The book is significant for its contributions to the study of entomology, particularly the taxonomy and classification of Lepidoptera. It contains over 200 illustrations, which were created using lithography and chromolithography techniques. The illustrations are accompanied by detailed descriptions of the species, including information on their taxonomy, distribution, and behavior.
